Top 30 overall players from Georgia over the last decade
Georgia high school basketball has a rich history of talent, especially over the last decade. You could make an argument that the last 10 years of classes is the best run of talent the Peach State has ever seen.
We spent last week releasing our top five players at each position from Georgia. You can find the lists here: PG, SG, SF, PF, C.
Today we rank the top 30 overall players to graduate from Georgia high schools over the last decade. Creating this list proved to be even more difficult.
There is no exact science to this list. Should we rank players solely on high school experience? How much does the college production come into play? What about their pro careers? All of those questions have various answers. We weighted the high school experience the most.
